Orange Ball Squad
Squad Tennis coaching for kids 7-10yrs
The Orange Ball Squad is for players aged between 7yrs to 10yrs who would like a head start with their tennis development to ensure good habits are learnt early to lay a solid foundation.
With the addition of Squad Coaching which has different drilling and match play scenarios than Group and Private Coaching, each player is given the confidence to play at their best.
Players are placed into groups of similar ability and each group is coached differently, taking into account the groups age, stage of tennis development and skill sets.
The Squad Coaching program includes:
- Stroke production with Excel Tennis Director / High Performance Coach Marcus Petrou
- Footwork / movement training
- Drilling to consolidate technique and match play patterns
- Match play with tactical awareness around point construction and strategy
- Tennis etiquette and sportsmanship
Please note our Squad Coaching program is open to all players who are also enrolled in a Group and/or Private Coaching program in the same term.
